Having a balanced diet is essential to health, but it is the ability to properly absorb the nutrients from our meals that is vital. The human body is amazing because under normal conditions it produces digestive enzymes to break down our food into macro and micro nutrients. Digestive enzymes are responsible for constructing, synthesizing, carrying, dispensing, delivering, and eliminating the many ingredients and chemicals our body uses in its daily business of living. Properly digested nutrients like proteins, fats, and carbohydrates can be readily absorbed and utilized by the body for energy production or cell growth and repair.

Not only does raw whole foods contain the enzymes needed to digest them, but our bodies can also produce certain digestive enzymes. The reason why people living in a 21st-century post industrialized world must supplement with digestive enzymes is due to the fact that we don’t live on a raw food diet and the bulk of our food consumption originates from cooked and highly processed sources. When we cook our food, the high heat makes the naturally occurring enzymes inactive and unable to function in order to digest our food which puts stress on our system.

Did you know more than 80 percent of Americans eat a diet of mostly cooked and highly-processed foods? If we continue to introduce enzyme-stripped foods into our already taxed bodies, foods can often take up to two or three times longer to pass through your digestive system. Our Zyme-Right™ digestive enzyme supplement helps to digest meals more efficiently and deliver the nutrients from our food to our body. Since digestive enzymes can not only help with digestive problems but also aid to strengthen our body's immune system. Simply put...the more enzymes we have, the stronger our immune system will be.

Below are some frequently asked questions...

How can I maintain my enzyme levels?You can begin a digestive enzyme supplement regimen! By taking supplemental enzymes at meals it can help your body with digestion which allows your body to devote more energy to repairing and maintaining your organs and tissues.

Why do I need supplemental digestive enzymes if my body already makes them?The body can make digestive enzymes; however, the more digestive enzymes it is required to produce for digestion, the fewer enzymes it can create to maintain optimal health. It is very important that we preserve the body’s ability to make enzymes. If supplemental plant digestive enzymes are taken with a meal, these digestive enzymes begin their work immediately. The supplemental digestive enzymes in Zyme-Right™ will break down the food, thus saving the body from having to release as many of its own enzymes. This allows the body to devote its attention to supplying more metabolic enzymes so the organs and tissues can carry on their daily work.

What should I expect to feel when I begin taking digestive enzymes? Most people feel better in terms of energy, digestion, and elimination. Occasionally you may experience a period of increased detoxification when beginning enzyme therapy. This is actually a good sign as the body is now able to eliminate excess toxins, although you may feel tired or achy for a few days. Increasing enzyme dosages and water intake is often the best recommendation to help you through this natural process.

Can enzymes be harmful if you take too many?When speaking about digestive enzyme formulas, no. As active protein molecules, the enzymes do not accumulate in the body. They impart enzymatic activity that lasts anywhere from one to four hours and then they are eliminated from the body or the proteins are broken down and the amino acids are used for other purposes. As with any herbal or nutritional supplement, evaluation of amounts and over consumption should be determined on an individual basis.

Can children take digestive enzymes?Yes, absolutely. You can give digestive enzymes to infants, toddlers, and young children. Please be sure the follow the usage directions made by your liscenced physician.

Can enzymes be taken with other prescription medications? Digestive enzymes function by breaking down specific chemical bonds in foods. In most cases, digestive enzymes can therefore safely be taken with medications. However, it is of course always recommended to let your health care provider know what you are taking. One area of caution is with prescription blood thinning agents. If you are on this type of medication, you should consult with your physician before beginning an enzyme regimen.

Will taking supplemental digestive enzymes inhibit the body’s ability to make its own enzymes? No. It is the presence of hormones, not enzymes, that signals for secretion of more or less enzymes. Whether from internal or external (supplemental) enzymes, complete hydrolysis of food macromolecules is the indicator for the hormones secretin and cholecystekinin to signal the pancreas to stop secreting pancreatic juices. Taking supplemental digestive enzymes supports and assists the digestive function; it does not inhibit it.
